CARDEX BACKGROUND

The Pokémon’s story

Pikachu's electricity is not only used to drive off opponents. When two Pikachu meet, they may touch tails and exchange electricity as a greeting. The gesture turns an impressive power into a sign of closeness. Behind the sparks and charged cheeks lies a way of getting acquainted that belongs to this small forest-dwelling Pokémon.

A detail worth noticing

On Pikachu promo No. 101, the attack starts at 30 damage. You then flip coins until the first tails; each heads adds 30 damage. Jiro Sasumo illustrated this card. An immediate tails keeps the starting amount, while a run of heads raises it without a predetermined number of flips.
